Zimmerman verdict energizes Salon.com’s White Privilege branding

Zimmerman verdict energizes Salon.com’s White Privilege branding

Salon.com, which does not have a staff that looks like America, continues its branding as the place to go for lectures on White Privilege, Whiteness, and how race drives almost everything in America.

And it’s not just David Sirota.  They even have a “white people” tag.

In the wake of the Zimmerman not guilty verdict, Salon.com has gone almost all race and White Privilege, almost all the time.

Salon.com Homepage 7-16-2013 1105 am - marked

Ond of the lead columns today is mind-numbing double-talk to excuse away the fact that George Zimmerman is not white, he’s mixed race including a black great grandfather, which contradicts the racial narrative pushed so hard at Salon.com and elsewhere:

George Zimmerman, neighborhood watchman and wannabe cop, placed a bet on his whiteness; when he shot and killed a young, unarmed black teenager because they always get away, he spoke with an oppressor’s voice, and for his service the oppressor’s justice absolved him….

The outcome of George Zimmerman’s trial is that he will go free, pardoned by a white supremacist society for acting like a white supremacist. But such a grant is, in fact, a gilded cage, entrapping Zimmerman in whiteness and a privilege that will never allow him to understand and accept the meaning of his own heritage in today’s United States. Should he break the implicit contract he has signed with the lightness of his skin — should he express remorse, or agitate against the justice system that found him not guilty of murder when, by his own proud admission, he stalked, confronted, shot and killed an unarmed 17-year-old — he will find his privilege revoked, his financial support from strangers cut off, his celebration in conservative corners come to an abrupt end.

The Zimmerman verdict, completely just under the law and facts, will give fodder to the White Privilege industry for years to come.

There’s the white supremacy angle again. That’s got to be pushed back – I’m already tired of that meme.

    Has anyone ever even heard of a white supremacist group whose members don’t hate hispanics at least as much as they hate blacks?

      DriveBy in reply to clintack. | July 16, 2013 at 1:21 pm

      Yes! Many here may be working with a limited amount of information/understanding.

      Here is a posting from a White Supremacist website:

      Quote:
      “I really don’t hate anyone to be honest. Hispanics are hispanics. Not sure what you’re fishing for. I’ve met some good ones and I’ve met some bad ones. I even have hispanic friends believe it or not and they’re well aware of my viewpoints.

      This site is more about preserving our race. Don’t be fooled into thinking we’re all about hating anyone isn’t white.

If GZ had been convicted the Vile Progs would have had nothing to protest.

But that ever stopped them before.

    Well, no. Zimmerman _____________! Left calls for repeal of stand your ground laws! President calls for stricter gun control to honor Trayvon Marin’s memory.

    Does it really matter how you fill out the blank?

stevewhitemd | July 16, 2013 at 11:52 am

George Zimmermann stood up for a homeless black man when that man was assaulted by the son of a white police officer in Sanford. How many other people in Sanford of any color did that?

That alone should end this idiotic meme, but of course it won’t.

    It goes both ways. Whites standing for Blacks. Blacks standing for Whites. There are good people among us. The concept of “race” does not reflect the diversity in our society or humanity. The concept of “race” delineated by skin color is demonstrably false and wholly corrupt. It is a distraction from the issues of merit, which some people have discovered is politically, economically, and socially profitable. Their obsession and exploitation of “race” nurtures the development of prejudice in succeeding generations contrary to their purported ambitions.

      James IIa in reply to n.n. | July 16, 2013 at 12:40 pm

      Excellent comment. If there’s to be hope for us it lies in recognizing and rewarding good people, civilized people, without regard to race. Forcing events into a racialist perspective can only set us back.

    Ragspierre in reply to stevewhitemd. | July 16, 2013 at 1:10 pm

    You are being rational. That is very “white” in some circles.

    mariner in reply to stevewhitemd. | July 16, 2013 at 2:10 pm

    And how many black people in Sanford have publicly stood up for George Zimmerman?

All this race bating is making me ill, how can this be happening in 2013 with a black President in his second term? Sickening…

    Chuck50 in reply to Moe4. | July 16, 2013 at 12:09 pm

    To do that, they’d have to give up their prized “Victim” status. Being a victim gives them a free pass on being held accountable for their personal failures and bad behavior. Think spoiled child..

    Voluble in reply to Moe4. | July 16, 2013 at 12:24 pm

    Well, it would help if the president were not so vehemently racist. I think we all know that no white politician would have been seen fit to serve if he had taken someone like Jeremiah Wright as his spiritual mentor and his first act had been to allow KKK members to patrol polling places unpunished.

    All of this was perfectly predictable from just knowing Obama had been a community organizer. They do exactly what we saw in this case… stir up strife and division for their own gain.

    His being black is neither here nor there and it is buying into the tribal thinking of the left to pretend it matters what his skin color is. It doesn’t.

      Uncle Samuel in reply to Voluble. | July 16, 2013 at 12:45 pm

      You mean NBPP members at the polling places, don’t you?

      I don’t recall any KKK folks out and about in years.

      jayjerome66 in reply to Voluble. | July 16, 2013 at 5:42 pm

      The persistant problem from the start, and Obaman’s main problem as a man and a politician, is his abandonment of his ‘whiteness.’

      The Great Lie that’s now indelibly embedded in our national conscieousness, is that he is the first Black President of the US. That, of course, is NOT true. He is the first half-white, half-black president. I intentionally placed ‘white’ before ‘black’ in the description, because he was brought up by a white mother and white grandparents and white relatives. His father – not an American Black, but a foreign African – abandoned him. He grew up seeing the world through the prism of his mostly white American upbringing, which nourished and protected him. As president, his white-black racial makeup could have been of tremendous benefit in bridging the white-black divide, but somewhere along the line he suppressed his whiteness, and opted to abandon it.

      Imagine if on inauguration day he had refused the black appellation,and insisted he not be referred to that way. If he had looked into the tv cameras and said: “I am a black AND white American, but henceforth don’t tack on any racial descriptive to me.” If only he had followed that directive imagine the good he could have done to bridge the racial divide.

      But he opted for his blackness instead. He aligned himself, politically and temperamentally, with his darkness. And in that process he has acquired what I will call ‘white separation bias.’

      It’s that separation bias that caused him to misread and misinterpret the Zimmerman-Martin confrontation, and to takes sides against Zimmerman. And for me, the obviously biased perspective he’s maintained for Zimmerman, the stubborn refusal to admit Trayvon Martin was a disturbed, aggressive, indiscipline black delinquent with a propensity for violence, but instead opted to allow the government to persecute Zimmerman with a false overinflated prosecution – and continues to insinuate now Zimmerman was and is still guilty – is the most shameful thing he’s done since he came into public view.

    Carol Herman in reply to Moe4. | July 16, 2013 at 12:56 pm

    How? Because our president is a community organizer, first and foremost. And, it is also high up on harvard’s agenda. So he can squeeze this as long as he likes. However, he is tanking in the marketplace.

    Did the white house think there would be benefits to riots over this? Heck, it takes up the front page! And, then no one else gets to look at the whirlwind of problems surrounding the incompetents who have taken over big gobs of the Federal government, where they can hire their favorites with jobs above the minimum wage.

    And, we know Rick Scott, the republican governor in Florida, did this too.

    What most people didn’t know was how entrenched this evil stuff is. And, it’s in both parties.

    Radegunda in reply to Moe4. | July 16, 2013 at 6:27 pm

    Soon after the 2008 election, some people started noticing a change in demeanor among black neighbors, acquaintances, coworkers, etc. It wasn’t like “now we can all just get along,” but more like “now WE’RE in charge, and you’re not going to like it.” (I know someone who experienced a sudden cold haughtiness among coworkers who used to be friendly.)

    For a segment of the black population, the Obama presidency isn’t about racial healing but about payback, mostly for injustices never actually suffered by those demanding it. And the payback is, of course, demanded from people who never hurt any black people, but may actually have taken the extra step to help them, as Zimmerman did.

    Meanwhile, we’re not even supposed to talk about the facts of violent crime and theft.

    Those are the main reasons why racial tension is so high; it’s got practically nothing to do with white prejudice.

    It is happening because Barry Soetoro is sitting in the White House after stealing the Presidential election.

    And without saying, Edward Wyckoff Williams is not white.
    Where he gets off thinking fro whites is beyond me.
    Typical racist.

They’re concerned that electing Obama will not be perceived to offer them redemption which they so fervently require for their deep and abiding prejudice. Unfortunately, despite their efforts at selective indoctrination, and trillions in redistributive change, they can be judged by the content of the outcome: negative progress. That is a devaluation of capital and labor, denigration of individual dignity, a general devaluation of human life, and sponsoring corruption and dysfunction throughout society and humanity.

    Uncle Samuel in reply to n.n. | July 16, 2013 at 12:43 pm

cjharrispretzer | July 16, 2013 at 12:01 pm

This is truly beyond comprehension to me. How can you have white privilege if you are partially black like GZ is? I feel like Alice in Wonderland on most days regarding most subjects. These things are reaching the level of comedy…a level that cannot be ignored by even the lowest of low information voters. God, I truly just want so badly for the people of the USA to blow back against this insanity. It’s too much.

Aw, jeeze…..if they’re so upset that they were “born white”, how about they move to a predominantly minority area and shut up already?

The truth of the matter is, they just want everyone else to praise them for their “enlightened” views – Heaven forbid they actually have to put their money where their mouth is….

        it’s nonsense to blame an entire large city for the acts of a handful of hooligans. i’ve lived in oakland for 38 years and i wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. sure, there are typical urban problems (and an inept city government) but it’s a beautiful city filled with charming neighborhoods and we enjoy the best weather in the world !

          I’m sure there are people in Detroit and St. Louis that feel the same way…..sorry to offend you, but it’s Oakland’s stereotype.

          Crawford in reply to el polacko. | July 16, 2013 at 4:02 pm

          “(and an inept city government)”

          This, the entire city is to blame for.

          JoAnne in reply to el polacko. | July 16, 2013 at 4:11 pm

          I blame all of California. I left California, actually was forced out. I lived in Concord and spent a lot of time in Oakland, but not in the last few years. I stand by my statement – you go walk the streets of Oakland if you want, but I wouldn’t, not unless I lived in the hills.

This country could move beyond all of it’s racial problems, if a certain group of people would just let go of the past.

And I’m not talking about conservatives.

I don’t think Zimmerman labeled himself as White,the media did. When they realized their error, a new race was invented, the hence unknown, White-Hispanic!

Bottom Line, If their White Supremacy narrative was to continue working and at least on the surface sound credible, George Zimmerman had to at least sound as if he were White.

Most of the agitators already know he’s Hispanic, but choose to overlook the fact. It’s hard to continue expressing your outrage about White privilege when the alleged target of your frustration inconveniently happens to be a minority as well. LOL

    Voluble in reply to Chuck50. | July 16, 2013 at 12:31 pm

    I wonder if Zimmerman could have sought protection in the endangered species act since he is the only known existing “White Hispanic.”

    nordic_prince in reply to Chuck50. | July 16, 2013 at 4:50 pm

    I’m still trying to figure out why GZ is 1/8 black yet labeled “white,” while on the other hand, Fauxchahontas is allegedly 1/32 Cherokee and therefore labeled “Native American” ~

      In older parlance 1/8 black = mulatto.

      If you want a good reference as to how that works or at least it used to work, then check out Showboat. The character by the name of Julie was forced off the boat because her grandmother was a black slave.

      In other words, George should be considered to be a black because of his great-greatgrandfather who was Afro-Peruvian.

The real war on women. Zimmerman is deemed white because he has a white father. Obuma is deemed black because he has a black father. The mothers have no standing in a D controlled World.

Freddie Sykes | July 16, 2013 at 12:15 pm

Given that Zimmerman’s great grandfather was black, his mother was Hispanic and most likely Native South American and he was actively involved in seeking racial justice for other blacks, I am guessing that he is more qualified to head the NAACP than Ben Jealous who looks pretty pigment deficient to me.

Why all the fuss? Just don’t go to the salon website (no one else does). Problem solved.

The economy has tanked, unemployment is high, the country is being run by idiots and we are 17 trillion in debt while the media has chosen to focus on the ‘whiteness” of Zimmerman. Welcome to the world of 24 hr reality TV.

    Carol Herman in reply to showtime8. | July 16, 2013 at 1:04 pm

    In terms of debt and deficit, not all states are equal. Some are thriving. People are moving into states that have jobs and affordable housing. Both coasts are a disaster. While our middle thrives. This, given time of about two generations, will completely change the dynamics of our politics. Think of it this way. The coasts called the center “fly over country.” What they’ve been flying over has become much more healthy than the relics.

    Relics end up looking like Detroit. Home to de’riot.

I think that Skittles could go a long way toward healing our Great Racial Divide. The folks over at Salon could lead the way by making up some Skittle baskets (with balloons), and then personally deliver them over at the nearest poor inner city neighborhood or housing project. Say on Friday or Saturday night after dark. That way, they could personally interact with some folks who would look like Obama’s son, if he had one, and apologize for all the racism. I think this would go a long way toward changing some minds out there!

    Roughly six months ago, when the machinations and manipulations of the Scheme Team started to coalesce, myself and a few other (at a different site) hoped that when the scheme ultimately imploded, that this would, indeed, be the most important civil rights trial in the last hundred years. And that its outcome would be 180-degrees from where the race-pimps had planned.

Uncle Samuel | July 16, 2013 at 12:35 pm

Isa Hopkins – Dx – truly, utterly mentally ill. Needs residential care.

I suppose that one of the arguments for filing charges is that it would allow all the evidence to be presented in a legal forum where a jury could be trusted to resolve the issue of guilt.

That idea did not work so well. I cannot tell the difference between the original inflammatory rhetoric and the post-trial inflammatory rhetoric. It does not seem to have made a difference in quelling the issue that all legal relevant evidence was presented and fully argued to a sequestered and properly instructed jury chosen by both sides.

Black boys denied the right to be young

Don’t believe this crap is going to stop, until or unless, the above types of Blacks get their way OR the end result is the most horrific RACE War is fought, and the minority of U.S. population is decimated. Come to think of it maybe THIS is what ‘they’ want..

Carol Herman | July 16, 2013 at 12:50 pm

It doesn’t matter to me. I haven’t read a Salon article in ages, though I do know Drudge provides a link to it.

As to the “meme” George isn’t Hispanic, or Hispanics come in easily dividable flavors … what you are seeing, here, is the FEARS both political parties have … because the Hispanic bloc is a big one. At the trial, you don’t even get the impression George can speak Spanish. And, he speaks it fluently. So does his entire family!

The “white” meme is made to reduce the popularity of that “other white group” because they vote for republicans. (No worries that half of the “white” is by accusing GZ of having a Jewish dad. But since his mom is catholic, he identifies with Catholicism. This whole schtick is a marketing ploy.

And, it’s in full force because NOW the media wants to protect its own from Civil suits. And, what better way to do that then to keep a subliminal message going “George is a wealthy Jew out to get money he doesn’t deserve.”

You could also do this with Asians. Another group that falls in many varieties. Here, we know the Asiana airline came in too low. The tail clipped the sea wall. And, the plane crashed in pieces. Remember when the names of the pilots were “miss-“given? Wei Tu Lo. Wat Deh Fuk. That was a media attempt jumping on the idea that you can use a broad hand in separating out Koreans, from Japanes, From Indonesian.

Well, how do people vote?

Using marketing techniques to influence the marketplace?

Over time this will be overcome.

It’s rather sad that websites like Salon.com no longer see people as people. Instead they objectify and distort people into news stories for the sake of shock & awe or, worse, for sheer hatred.

    Henry Hawkins in reply to Sally Paradise. | July 16, 2013 at 2:30 pm

    It is part and parcel, an integral part, of the liberal agenda that people be reduced to identity blocks: black, gay, native American, etc., called ‘identity politics’. It allows them to generalize propaganda instead of arguing the facts of individual cases, and to rotate victim status from one identified group to another, usually a minority, but in their agenda even a majority group (women) can be identified as a repressed minority if it helps their cause.

    Please note how this model matches unionism: an ‘official’ you didn’t select advocates not for you individually, but only as a member of an identified group, and extracts from you either direct dues payment or, with identity politics, pressured calls for donations ‘because of all we do for you’. In both models, the self-appointed ‘officials’ benefit financially far more than does the group or any individual group member. Same model, generally. And not by mistake.

What the U.S. needs are more voices such as this gentleman AND the Thomas Sowell’s, the Allen West’s, the Deroy Murdock’s and NOT the sirota’s, the matthew’s, the harris-perry’s, et al..

The President, Attorney General are black for God’s sakes.

The continued pushing of the race card reminds me of what I read once about terrorism. There will always be terrorists- it’s very profitable or the top dogs. Shame on Jackson, Sharpton, Jealous,etc.

legacyrepublican | July 16, 2013 at 1:06 pm

I have just one word. RICO.

George Zimmermann needs to go after Salon.com just like the woman who went after the KKK.

It has cost him more than $10,000 a year for two years for him to defend himself against these charges because of the race card.

How is that any different than what the KKK does with their cost burning and intimidation?

These people need to pay up for the damages they have done to GZ. He will not be able to live a normal life thanks to their vitriol!

So, I have just one word RICO. And GZ, if you do use it, hit them hard. Go after Soros too.

Midwest Rhino | July 16, 2013 at 1:25 pm

Zimmerman is less white than Obama.

Zimmerman is half Hispanic, 3/8th white, 1/8th black.

So how about racial justice as they demand …

“Impeach white African Obama”,
instead of murdering not guilty Hispanic Zimmerman?

All I want is a trial …

So now it’s ok to profile someone if they aren’t of the politically correct protected class?

Well, Salon editors you have a problem…

JEANTEL: Yes. Definitely after I say may be a rapist, for every boy, for every man, every — who’s not that kind of way, seeing a grown man following them, would they be creep out?

She continued:

“And people need to understand, he didn’t want that creepy ass cracker going to his father or girlfriend’s house to go get — mind you, his little brother was there. You know — now, mind you, I told you — I told Trayvon it might have been a rapist.”

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/07/jeantel-i-told-trayvon-zimmerman-could-be-gay-rapist/

St. Skittles was a homophobe. He profiled George Zimmerman as a gay rapist as the reason for his assault upon him. Why this didn’t come out in court is scandalous given it speaks directly to Trayvon’s state of mind by a first hand witness. In other words, Trayvon’s attack upon George Zimmerman constitutes a HATE CRIME because his intent was to beat someone whom he profiled as a gay person! This is regardless if Zimmerman was gay or not. Remember, the prosecutor’s case was based on proving Zimmerman had hate in his heart.

So now St. Skittles elevated to the position of martyrdom for the Black cause turns out to be a hate monger in addition to a drug pusher.

Let the self parody continue liberals…mix your Lean with an extra dose of Robitussin and consume at least a gallon in one sitting so that the blessings of St. Skittles will be upon you.

Some potentially good news. I have a friend who is a good slumlord. Well-maintained and reasonably priced. 100% occupancy. Over 300 cash-paying-on-time-everytime Hispanic tenants. His conservative naturalized Mexican resident manager told us that the vast majority of the tenants he’s talked to feel that BO and liberals are definitely favoring blacks over Hispanics in this. And they don’t like it and are talking a lot amongst themselves.

??Possibly a significant shift in political allegiance?? Time will tell.

Maybe it is time to wonder what would happen if the DOJ were to take this on, and it ended up at SCOTUS. Would the Court craft a Trayvon Warning, similar to the Miranda Warning??? Perhaps:

“Please accept my apology for any perceived racial slight or insult, and please cease banging my head into the concrete sidewalk, and or any other potentially injurious conduct, as this could cause Traumatic Brain Injury, or other physical harm, and subject you to possible criminal and civil penalties, and which may cause me to fear for my life and act in accordance with certain Stand Your Ground statutes if found in the applicable state legal code, or lead me to act in accordance with statutory or common law provisions relating to self-defense, which could prove detrimental to your physical well being.”

Somebody has to think about stuff like this.

Apparently, Rachel Jeantel is now claiming TM thought GM was a gay rapist and a white cracka, and she told him to run.

So, maybe he was a homophobic racist and attacked GZ because of his views. Wonder how the left will deal with this.

My guess … The same way they handle black conservatives like Clarence Thomas. Pretend he is white.

I’ve noticed the rise in racial (black/white) tensions since the election of BHO. The leftists blame whites for the increased animus, of course. ‘Whites can’t handle a black man in the White House.’ They are, per usual, impressively wrong.

My theory is: with the election of BHO to the highest office in the land, and arguably the most powerful man in the World, they (blacks and their white apologists) have no remaining excuses for the lack of progress made by the nominal black populace.

Think about it – no more excuses. “‘Blacks can’t beat the system!’ ‘Well, there’s BHO on the big cool jet…'”

They are freaked out. The pressure’s on, and there will be a reconciliation. Hopefully involving a mirror for, er, uh, ‘them’.

    In addition, there was also a “payback” and “now WE rule YOU” attitude that appeared right from the start. For many black Americans, apparently, when America elected a black president it wasn’t a demonstration that America was no longer fundamentally racist; it just meant that THEY managed to pull off a victory over US in the election, and now they need to keep fighting to prevent that congenital racism from victimizing them again.

I can’t stand it. I submitted an essay for the Spearhead that rips the lid off Salon’s anti-racism, but blog proprieter Bill Price is out running with the wolves again :

Salon’s Toxic Race Shame

Is Joan Walsh Terrified of African-Americans?

Maybe someone has deduced the following already, but after looking at Salon’s meltdown over the Zimmerman verdict, which came after they stopped covering the trial during the prosecution phase in lieu of posting screeching anti-white diatribes (“White People Killed Detroit”), one can conclude that anti-racists like Joan Walsh and her cohort of “journalists” flat out hate and fear black people, and are deeply ashamed of it. Hence they over-compensate by standing at the vanguard of the brave anti-racist agitators, all from the safety of their predominantly-white enclaves. Sure, you can bet they are gushing with solidarity when they encounter a black member of the Encorpera support staff, but back at home while quaffing boxed wine they breathe a sigh of relief that they made it through another day without somebody exposing the ugly truth about their toxic shame…

Don’t hear much about the Klan since Robert Byrd, democrat, died. You’d think there would be plenty of democrats willing to step up and admit that they too, hate non-whites. Because they do.

    Well, primarily in the CBC, where they fight like crazy to continue policies that destroy schools, families, and (real) churches.

The IT whistleblower in the GZ case, Ben Kruidbos, has lawyered up; and last night on HLN, said council called for the resignations of Corey and BdlR before they were removed from office.

Act IV, Scene I.

To quote one of the best comments here during the trial:

They “care” so much about Trayvon that they could be bothered to watch the actual trial to find out what really happened to him

My liberal friends on Facebook are now warning they will block anyone who brings up the Zimmerman trial. Too much politics, they say.. yet these are the same people who bombarded me daily with their Nanny State religious propaganda.

Takeaway: the Skittles & Tea crowd cant face themselves in the mirror. They need time and space to adjust, to pretend that didn’t swallow the MSM narrative bullshit and say “yummy!”. Does this mean they have *some* shame?

    You ask them their opinion of the Zimmerman Telegram, and whether it would have mattered if Mexico had entered the war.

Oh, good googley-moogley! Holder is preachin’ to the Choir!

(He is truly an excellent speaker with a fine voice; and frankly, I’d rather listen to him than to Obama’s stilted jive.)

    Oh, crap. He just shoved all-in. GZ is going to endure a Federal indictment. Crap. Really bad.

    (And their playing cheesy church-organ music when he hits a long pause in his speech.

    He just said ‘We must stand our ground!’ Who’s ‘our’, Mr. Holder, sirrrrrr?

Translation: We’re going to milk this to the 2014 elections.

Neither Salon, Sharpton, nor President Obama seem to care they are adding to, not helping, the racial problems in America.

Not long ago, the lefties would all have said that the police would unjustly “profile” George Zimmerman if he went out for an ice cream in Arizona. And they’d be defending his brown-skin privilege to commit crimes without consequence because otherwise someone might look into his immigration status.

The hypocrisy is mind-bending.

Rat-bastard Sharpton has turned the volume up to ’11’.

The Holder statement,

Separate and apart from the case that has drawn the nation’s attention, it’s time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods. . . By allowing—and perhaps encouraging—violent situations to escalate in public, such laws undermine public safety.”

Sooo, here is my Irish Poem:

A Chilling Effect???

There once was a moron named Holder,
Who thought folks should be much less bolder.
If confronted with Death,
Just take a deep breath!
And chill! . . . as your carcass grows colder.

He dislikes laws permitting self-defense because he knows who many of the criminals are, “my people’.
